Proposed move to a new title

[edit]

I suggest changing the title of this article to "Sicilian Independence Movement". I think the current title is grammaticaly incorrect and represents a mistranslation of "Movimento Indipendentista Siciliano". Moreover, by looking at which term is actually used in books to describe the movement, googlebooks gives 31 hits[1] for "Sicilian Independence Movement" and only 1 hit[2] for "Sicilian Independentist Movement". Similarly, googlenews gives only 1 hit[3] for "Sicilian Independentist Movement" and 4 hits[4] for "Sicilian Independence Movement" This book[5] specifically identifies "Sicilian Independence Movement" as M.I.S. So the name "Sicilian Independence Movement" seems to be both the more commonly used and the more correct translation of "Movimento Indipendentista Siciliano".

There now appear to be two. This party was also refounded which complicates things further.Paolorausch (talk) 10:05, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
